ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


There are many people and organizations who assisted in bringing this project to fruition. First and foremost, we send our gratitude to all the members of the Ad Hoc committee on Disaster Preparedness/Recovery who provided their expertise, suggestions, and hours of time. Their names are listed in the front of this manual. As with all committee projects, there were some members who provided extra efforts. We want to especially recognize Patrick Butler, Larry Francell, Dr. Paul Katz, Sally Shelton, and Carolyn Spears for providing invaluable text material for the final product. Virginia Mize, Elisa Phelps, and Sherry Humphreys also came to our rescue in many ways. Milan Hughston and AMIGOS Bibliographic Council staff member Thomas F. R. Clareson collaborated on the selected bibliography.

In the initial phases of the project, Dr. Katz, Sam Daleo, Carolyn Spears, and Larry Francell provided tremendous assistance in assembling and compiling preliminary information. Jimmie Picquet assisted greatly in drawing up the original plan for a video conference. Our speakers for the planned workshops will be invaluable resources: Dr. David Gracy, Patricia Terry, Toby Murray, and Barbara Roberts.

A project of this nature requires underwriting from a variety of sources. We are very grateful to the Institute of Museum Services, a federal agency, which contributed funding to this project through a Professional Services Program grant. In addition, Chubb Group of Insurance Companies provided major assistance to the project. The Collection Managers Committee of TAM has been supportive of the project from the beginning, and will underwrite the 1994 and 1995 workshops. In addition, the ongoing financial assistance to TAM of the Texas Commission on the Arts, and loyal members, enables the TAM staff to support this important committee project.

We also wish to acknowledge those organizations and institutions that generously allowed us to reproduce their materials in this manual. They are: The American Airpower Heritage Museum (for the Confederate Air Force Museum plan); American Association of Museums, Technical Information Service; American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works; Blackmon-Mooring-Steamatic Catastrophe, Inc.; Canadian Conservation Institute; Chubb and Son, Inc.; McFaddin-Ward House; Mountain-Plains Museums Association; Northeast Document Conservation Center; Oklahoma Museums Association; Southeastern Library Network, Inc. (SOLINET); Texas State Library; University of North Texas Libraries; University of Tulsa Library; Western Association for Art Conservation; and West Texas A&M University.

Finally, we send a special thanks to the staff of TAM, Margaret Blagg, Debbie Welchel, and Sally Baulch.
